Recorder's Court. •
There is a decided dearth of busi
ness in this Court at present, A sin
gle ease was all that claimed investi
gation yesterday morning—that of
Oscar Weaver (white), for violation
of 18th section. Plead guilty. Fined

Having their Chrintin is.
We observed yesterday afternoon
and last night boys in different parts
of the city letting off fire crackers.—
Save your money, boys, and have all
your fun next Friday. Beside, by
firing j our crackers through the streets
you are very apt to scare horses and
make them run away.

I'nglivlic.
Yesterday afternoon two young lads
became engaged in fisticuffs at the
Postoffice, and fought several good
rounds before they' were stopped by
some bystanders. The little urchins
appeared to be “right in for it,” and
were very' much chagrined at being
stopped, each vowing to have satis
faction from the other.
♦
Ran Away.
About six o’clok last evening, just
as Car No. 3 on the Street Railroad,
was rounding at the Globe Hotel, on
its upward trip, the horse attached to
it became frantic, broke loose from the
gearings and made a dash down Broad
street at a furious rate, keeping all
the while on the track. We did not
learn where he was stopped, but pre
sume. he went the whole rounds.
Mail C ontract.
The Postoffice Department has made
a contract with the Augusta and Co
lumbia Railroad Company', to convey
the mails from Columbia, by Lexing
ton, Leesville, Ridge and Lott’s, to
Graniteville, seventy-three miles and
back, six times a week, or oftener, if
trains run-, if required, for the sum of
$5,475 per annum, being at the rate of
$75 per mile per annum, commencing
on Wednesday last.
Almost a Fight.
At the corner of Broad and Mcln
losh streets, yesterday afternoon, two
boys, white and colored, were engaged
in a war of words, and came very near
“hitching.” The little fellow's didn’t
feel much like fighting, though the
larger boys in the crowd were “ eager
for the fray,” and did all they could to
get up a first-class fight. Don’t fight,
boys, you might get a black eye, and
then your ma will whip you.
A Plan oi Merit? ""
We observe that the Co-operative
Grocery Association in Hartford, Ct.,
have agreed to form a stock company
of workingmen, shares ten dollars
each, payable fifty cents a week until
the whole is paid in, with no objcc.
lion to the whole amount being paid
in at once if convenient. The money
is to be used for opening and con
tinuing a grocery store at which stock
holders can obtain goods at cost. The
number of shares is limited to one
thousand. No person will be allowed
to hold more than five shares, and no
person can cast more than one vote.
Cannot the workingmen of Augusta
inaugurate a similar enterprise ? Such
associations, if properly managed,
confer great pecuniary good on the
workingman, and enable him to lay
up many dimes for a “ rainy day.”
Think of it, workingmen, and make
the effort.
Death ofau Aged Citizen.
One by one are the ancient '.and
marks obliterated by the effacing
finger of Death, and the chain which
connects us with men and things of
past generations, is losing the links of
its length and strength. Our com
munity are called upon to-day to pay
the last tribute to one of the oldest
native born citizens of Augusta—
John A. Barnes, Esq.—who was
born in this city, in a building which
stood where Masonic Hall now stands,
August Ist, 1790.
Mr. Barnes enjoyed the confidence
and esteem of his fellow-citizens to an
exalted degree. He held, for a num.
ber of years, the position of Teller in
the Wheeler Bank, the duties of
which he discharged with fidelity and
satisfaction. He also filled, at one
time, a position in the municipal gov
ernment of Augusta.
The funeral service will take place
at the Greeue Street Baptist Church,
at 3 o’clock this afternoon.

The Counterfeiters.
The hearing of the case of Isaac
Williams, charged with passing and
having counterfeit money in his pos
session, was resumed yesterday morn
ing. Only otic additional witness was
sworn—John McElrath, Esq.—who
testified as follows:
JOHN MCELRATH SWORN.
The $2 bill shown was passed on me on
the 11th of December instant; 1 suspected it
was a counterfeit; my clerk, John Can
non received a similar bill previously; my
attention was called to this bill by Mr. Can
non; I asked him when he got it; McAnany
was present; offered the bill to me; I asked
when he got it; he said lie got it in change
from a clothing store; I sent for Mr. Cannon
and he recognized him as having passed a sim
ilar bill on him a few night before; 1 had him
arrested by a city policeman; Cannon re<*
ognized McAnany as being the man who
passed the bad bill a few nights before;
believed the bill then to be a similar bill to
the one offered to me; the package of bills
shown me arc all similar to the one offered
me.
CROSS-EXAMINANT ION.
My evidence has reference altogether to
Mr. "McAnany.
HJcAnanv and Williams were held
to bail by Commissioner Davis in the
sum of $5,000 each, in default of
which they were turned over to U. S.
Marshal Dickson, who takes them to
Savannah for a further hearing.
There are reasons to justify the
belief that these parties have made a
secret deposit of quite a large amount
of their counterfeit currency in or
contiguous to this city, and efforts are
being put forth to discover its where
abouts.

—Rather a bad state of affairs ex
ists in certain portions of Baldwin
county, Alabama, in reference to the
institution of marriage. Quite a num
ber has been spliced by a Justice of
the Peace, who it turns out, was never
qualified, and hence the marriages are
nidi and void. A bonaf.de Justice
has been procured, and the work of
reconstruction is progressing. To the
credit of the Baldwinites, be it said,
not a man availed himself of the loop
hole of escape made by the law.
The attention of agriculturists in
the Southern States is becoming At
tracted to this plant, as a rival of our
great staple, cotton. Wo arc not ad
viaod whether any experiments in its
cultivation have as yet been made in
Georgia. If not, we would suggest a
trial. Our attachment to the “Old
King” should not operate to blind us
to the merits of this new candidate for
agricultural and commercial favor.
’Hie editor of the New Orleans
Picayune has recently' visited St.
Bernard Parish, with the view of see
ing this plant cultivated as ti field
crop, and to verify its success as a
naturalized inhabitant of our soil. He
furnishes to the readers of the Piea
yune an interesting sketch of his
trip, from which we make the follow
ing extracts:
We arrived in due time at the extensive
plantation of Air. F. J. Knapp, when, after a
little rest, we started out to the garden
wherein the nursery of the Ramie had lieen
originally placed. ' Mr. K. began with one
hundred and fifty plants, purchased of Mr.
Roczl, of the first importation from Mexico.
Os these only thirty lived, and from these
came, since April, 1808, all that we saw evi
dence of, and of which we here speak, as
well as about four thousand which have been
sold.
There had been left standing a wide Ixxl,
about five feet across, of plants which had
grown up some twelve feet high, and which
were as thick as a hedge. These had been
left that we might see them, and to say that
“ our eyes beheld, and not those of another.”
The rest of the nursery, containing nearly an
acre or more, had been layered down so as to
preserve both roots and stalks as a means of
reproduction in the Spring.
Some little ways off we found the field
where over twenty acres were already plant
ed, and eighty more prepared to plant in the
Spring. Mr. Knapp, who has taken the
utmost pains to study the Ramie, and to
make the best use of it 111 propagation, thinks
it best to bed up the earth in beds of about
five or six feet width, and to mat-lay the
stalks when mature, in two rows, a foot apart,
and to save the roots for sale. The stalks
are laid longitudinally, lapping one another
iart of the way, and, by having two rows,
f some miss in one row, the probability is
that others will come up in the other row, so
as to make it continuous in the beds. When
these plants come up and mature, the’first
growth reaching about two and a half feet,
he will layer them down, and thus have the
whole bed grow up thick and high, like that
we have just described.
Os the productiveness of the Ramie there
can to no doubt, nor of its thorough security
and safety in this climate and as far North
as Tennessee. The fibre can be cleaned and
prepared as readily as that of hemp or linen,
and as it is equal to the latter in fineness, and
far superior to it in lustre, almost equaling
silk, there can be no doubt that it will soon
take the lead of cotton in the world’s market.
The only difficulty now is to get it, for its
production for market is confined to China
and Java, where, being eleaned by hand, tiie
product is small. When it is produced at the
annual rate of 3,000 pounds per acre, as it
can be here, and cleaned just as hemp is, is
insured ten cents specie per pound, it may
readily be seen that no other crop can cqusu
it in profitableness to the producer, who takes
such primitive means to dean it. But. by a
moderate outlay, those who buy it in this
condition, or those who grow it largely, may
make it worth sixty cents per pound, which
price will be given for any quantity of it
that may be sent to tlie English manufac
tures of silk, linen and cotton mixture witli
“China grass.”
From the N. O. Crescent.
Shocking Double Murder in a Street
Car.
The horrible murder of a car driver
and his little sou, on the Dauphin
Street Railroad, by a negro, Saturday
evening, about half a mile this side of
the barracks, has excited no little com
ment in this city. The driver was a
native of Ireland, by the name of
Bradley, about fifty years old, a tall,
muscular man, blind of one ej'e. The
negro who committed the deed got
into the car at the lower station, after
it had left for the barracks, about seven
o’clock in the evening. The others in
the car were one or two United States
soldiers and two or three citizens.
Further down some of the passengers
got out, and at the barracks the sol
'lier« ail d everybody else, except the
negro. He remained, when the
car started on its return the driver
called to the black to pay his fare.
The driver’s son got into the car about
this time, with his father’s supper in a
tin can.
The negro refused to pay, and on
the demand being repeated he seized a
hatchet, which lay near him on the car
scat, and gashed the driver’s head in
a horrible manner. The first blow of
the hatchet sent the edge deep into
the unfortunate man’s brain. He fell
forward on the front of the vehicle,
but the blood-thirsty negro repeated
and continued his blows until Brad
ley’s cheek was swollen to a greater
size than his head, and both his eyes
were beaten out.
The poor boy, on seeing his father
assaulted, screamed for help, when the
negro turned upon him, and used his
hatchet almost as murderously on him.
After, as he thought, killing both
father and son, the sable fiend took
the reins and guided the mule so as
to turn the car off the track. As an
other car approached, the driver of it
called out asking if the front car had
run off. Receiving no answer, he got
off his own vehicle, and entering the
other, stumbling over the insensible
body of the poor little boy. Going
further forward and lighting a match
(the car light having been extin
guished by the negro), he discovered
the driver, Bradley, on the front por
tion, in a sitting position, with his
head bending over the fender. The
poor man was utterly insensible, groan
ing piteously.
The newly arrived driver, after a
great deal of trouble, and aided by
people whom he hall called to assist
him, replaced the car on the track and
drove up to the station. The driver
expired shortly afterwards, and the
son on Sunday evening at forty-five
minutes past 4 o’clock.
—An old gentleman, at the late
disaster on the Ohio, finding that he
could not get off the burning boat,
went to his stateroom and laid down,
so that he might gratify himself by
“dying in his bed.”
—The stock certificates, bonds,deeds
and other representatives of money
left by Baron Rothschild, weighed over
a ton.

A Heiimaphboditb.—ln Vienna,
Catherine Hohanann, a native of Ba
varia, is exhibiting herself at tho pre
sent time to the physicians and natur
alists of the Austrain capital. She is
neither a man nor woman, but a lusus
nature, a case of hermaphrodisia vera
lateralis. A journalist who saw her,
writes to the Vienna Press: “I
pitied the poor creature. Although
in good health, and of robust, tjvcn
beautifully shaped form, she sat before
mo in deep distress and wept. And
she has wept already a great deal in
her joyless life. She loved a man for
twelve years; he loved her, too, and
oven proposed to her to go with him
to America, where nobody would
know of her misfortune; he would
live with her there and be happy with
her. But she refused to accept his
generous offer, saying she would not
make him unhappy. And then she
loved, dreadful to say, for seven
months—a young girl. Both of them
were greatly attached to each other,
until the young girl finally turned
from her and married. ‘From this
time forward,’ says the poor herma
phrodite, ‘I could no longer look at
the girl; I hated her.’ The most con
flicting feelings always surge in her
breast and torment her heart. She
feels love for both sexes, and does
not belong to either. ‘What shall I
do here on earth?’ she exclaimed;
what am I? In my life, an object of
scientific experiment, and, after my
death, an anatomical curiosity!”

From New Orleans.
New Orleans, December 19.—The
steamer Havana, or Maramon, is again in
trouble, the Collector having threatened
her seizure on the ground of a violation of
the law in her not exhibiting the proper
papers when called for, and that the
changeof Hag was irregular. The facts rela
tive to the matter are: the vessel was
purchased in New York by the Peruvian
Government, the owners contracting to
deliver her at Southwest Pass or wherever
the Peruvian monitors might be. Upon
her arrival at Southwest Pass the transfer
was made, and the Peruvian flag hoisted,
the former Captain remaining as sailing
master. Her American registry was sent
to New York for cancellation. Seuor Gar
cia has lieen notified by the former owner
that the register was cancelled. It was not
intended to bring the vessel to this city,
but while lying at Southwest Pass repairs
to the machinery became necessary. She
came here under the Peruvian flag. She
has since been the victim of continued
misfortune, having caused a misunder
standing between Minister Garcia and
Collector Fuller.
Yesterday flic Customs officer boarded
the Havana ami demanded to sec her
papers. The Captain replied that the
vessel belonged to the Peruvian Navy.
He had no papers to exhibit, and referred
the officer to Minister Garcia. The latter
has received no official communication in
reference to the matter, though he notified
the Customs authorities that the Havana
belonged to his Government, and ac
knowledged bis readiness to answer any
charge attached to her. The whole
trouble originated in coming here. Had
she remained at Southwest Pass, no notice
would have been taken of her. Collector
Fuller states that charges have been made
against the vessel of violations of the laws
—among others that powder had been
landed from her in the night, and the law
compelled him to seize her, unless papers
were produced. He, however, has referred
the matter to the authorities at Washing
ton, and will take no further steps, unless
upon advices from them. The vessel’s
manifest states that she cleared for South
west Pass and New Orleans.
The steamer Era sunk in Red River on
the 17tli with 880 bales of cotton. No
liveslost. A portion of the, cargo will be
